Any recommendations on a good gas powered high pressure washer? I don't need hot water, just a decent unit for washing the house, stock trailer, vehicles and equipment.
I also have a Simpson 3200 ( I might even have asked a question on here when I bought it a couple of years ago). I have zero complaints. I forgot to run it dry when it was last used in the early fall and I was worried I might have a hard time starting it. Two weeks ago, it started on the second pull. I am very pleased with it.I know some don't like them but I have a simpson 3200 psi with a honda engine that hasn't given me one problem and I have kind of abused and neglected it..
Have you started it since then?I have an older craftsman. Don't know the model but it's at least15 yrs old and still works great. Old enough to fit into 'back when Craftsman meant something'.
A little B&S gasoline engine. (It spent 3 days and night underwater in 2017)
Many timesHave you started it since then?
I too had a Cat 3 cylinder pump powered by a Honda engine that was also under water the same amount of time and I started it many many times more than the B&S unit after cleaning it out from the flood. Why the difference? The Honda unit would only run for a few minutes before dying and I'd have to re-start it a dozen or more times to get an hour's worth of washing out of it. Finally gave that pos away to someone with a younger set of hands and elbows than I had.IMO. just 2 words, Honda & Cat.
